Ideology

The ideology is not clear. According to Malcolm Nance they are (right-)libertarian (see They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency, pp. 319-320)

But today there are many more groups, without centralized (national) organization, ergo many more ideologies (e.g., social conservatives, nativists, etc.).

The article needs to be updated: Is it a militia or a network of militias?

The Three Percenters (sometimes styled as III% or Threepers) is a diffuse national network of militia groups and independent activists https://www.icct.nl/sites/default/files/2022-12/Gartenstein-Ross-et-al1.pdf (p. 5)

It should be discussed whether to replace militia with:

Network of militia groups

Extremist gun rights movement

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/10/us/politics/three-percenter-capitol-riot.html

Subset of the militia movement.

https://newlinesinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/20210225-Three-Percenter-PR-NISAP-rev051021.pdf (p. 2)

sub-ideology

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/three-percenters

We need to specify which Three Percenters group we are talking about

For example, III% Georgia Security Force has its own leadership (Chris Hill), while Three Percenters Original (the dissolved organization) had another leadership. The introduction talks about the leader of the last mentioned group.

I noticed that there are separate article: Washington State Three Percenters

I would suggest including them all in one article. 93.45.229.98 (talk) 11:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
